t OF UNION.
Olr Candidate. We to-day redeem, our
pledge of placing at oar masthead our candidate
for Congress. In the name of Samuel II. Walkup,
of Union, people of the Seventh district, you
have a guarantee, that, as jour Representative,
he will be faithful to your interest!, faithful to
the South, faithful to the Union. All you have
lo do is to rally round your standard bearer, and
give him the support which is due to him, to
yourselves and to your country, for iu sustaining
him you arc perpetuating the Union, endangered
by the incessant agitation of the question of
slavery, whicli,but for Democracy, would now be
sleeping the sleep that knows no waking; but
which, being necessary to their vitality, in spite
of pledges to the contrary they thrust into the
counsels of the nation for the manufacture of
political capital, regardless of the destruction it
is bringing npon the country.
In supporting him, you are expressing your
'ConJcmnstion of the sigh-handed and tyrannical
'measures of the Democratic Administration,
which hassquindcred the public money, brought
''the power sad influence and patronage of the
'GoveTRmeot into conflict with the freedom of
(lections and has not even hesitated to shed the
blood of1 your fellow countrymen to obtain ad
vantage at an election. , '
Fellow citizens, we have cot the time to say to
you all that we wish iu this connection 'to-day,
for the Argus must be at press in a few hours ;
but this we will say: you "have now presented to
yon an - opportunity -of ; showing -your - fealty
to the. Union of rebuking the abominable and
viciously corrupt party now in power of coming
out on the side of the people against a corrupt
combination of lawless an J. conscienceless politi
cians, who have so long had things their own
?ay that they think and believe and declare j
visit their corrupt organization is the Govern
ment, and so administer it that their own power
is perpetuated, and that of the people enervated
and destroyed. Imitate, now, the example of
yoar brethren in Virginia,, and Hoyour duty as
they did theirs, and remember this, that had tiny
i:nown their own poicer, they would have elected

Ms, sot PiavronsiB.-Th LoulsvilU.Tournal thinks
that, in the future contests of parties, "men not plat
forms," will bej th Blotto to supercede the old cry of
"Principles, not man." Under the latter, Polk beat
Henrv Clay, whoa principles hail been before the na
tion for thirty yean; Pierce beat General Scott, wlioie
name la on nearly every glorious pane of our eountry 'a
bUtory; and Buchanun beat Killmore, whose princi
ples had been earned out in the three years or his
prosperous Administration. The American people, tit
the future, will demand a candidate for the Presideucy
whose part services and public record are unimpeach
able and calculated to inspire connuence. i ue wor.i

rolled over the tongue of an oily politician, has be-
come as odious as was the Word sentiment" to Sir
Peter Teazle, after hia experiences of Joseph Surface

That's it. We want candidate for the tVes-
idency whose past services and public rwofZ and
moral character are unimpeachable, and calcu
lated to inspire confidence. . That Is what we
want that ia what the people want, and not only
so in regard to a candidate for the Presidency,
but iu regard to members of Congress. We wat.t
men whoso education, and moral training, and
unexceptional deportment in the general walks of
life, will insure them exemption from the ap
proach of the tempter in the person of the cor
ruptiouist men who dare to do right, and who
will, if approached, give the sneaking scoundrels
who would propose- to them aught that was dis
honoiable such a reception as would furever pre
vent their again bringing the contamination of
their presence within speaking distance. Had
we 7t a President, and turh a Congress, then,
indeed, might wo begin to look for progress in
the right direction.' Then would the' country
prosper ; tlien would the people rejoice, for tlun,
from the high places of the land, (tii fountain
of good or' ill, as .the men who fill thcni are pure
or impure,) will go forth lo the people fnfluences
for good, which will silently, though surely, like
the leaveu that was hid in the meal, cause them
to assimilate thereto; and thus the whole people
the American nation become "a bright nnd
shining light" to all the nations of the earth.
l'eople of North Carolina, while other States
arc waking up to this great necessity, donning
their armor and fighting manfully and gallautly
the battles of independence over again people
of the district, is it not time for old Rip Van
Winkle to rouse up and wash bis face, and go
into the fight with all the energy which his long
sleep has ..inspired him ?. . Thetime has come
when a choice is to be made a choice on which
depends your country's future your own indi
vidual prosperity and that of your children, for
time and for eternity. Nay, start not we say
for eternity as well as time. - It is the truth, tLe
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and the
time icill come, when, if not now, you will see,
are and feel the truth, that you rou, indj'id-J
ual voter might have cast your influence into the
scale of right; mxiyour action, influtucingothers,
might have turned the scale in favor ot the cause
of God and man. The cause of God, because
whatever tends to' elevate and ennoble man
whatever tends to his improvement whatever
has a tendency to open up fjiportuuities for his
advancement in social and moral lite, is, em
phatically, the cause of God, upd it is the cause
of man, because it assimilates him more and
more, and brings him nearer to the great author
of his being whose name is " Love."

to inquiry by the Post Office Department of the

made inquiries, ascertained that the articles were
not put into the mails, but were placed in charge
of a certain route mail agent, who was in the
habit of carrying such articles fur members of

Since the I'residcncv of Mr. Fillmore. Well
.Democbact rm South'! Only IIopi. We
have given many proofs of the disorganisation
and demoralization of the party, self-styled Dem
ocratic. Wo find in the Atlanta (Ga.) Ameri
can, An article furnishing more proofs of the dis
organizing and immoral tendencies of that party,
which we give below for the edification of our
readers, whether they be Whigs or Democrats :
The first witness is lion. Pierre Beule, of Louiaana,
a gentleman whose souudnvss in all true Democratic
doctrine is undeniable, and the high and ehivalrio
tone of whose character command respect every where,
In a speech made not long since, to the Louisiana
Democracy at Mew Orleuus, we fiuJ the following
passages: .
'He mean to disentangle ourselves from the thral
dom In which we have been kept for years by an 'tin
principled gang of political speculators and blacklegs;
aud we are here to vindicate our rights, and exercise
the inalienable prerogative of self-government."
Now ponder the above language, and eonsider the
source whence it ial Reflect upon the unqualified aa
ertion it makeal Mr. Soula waa the Minister of this
Government at the Court of Spain, and was one of
three men instructed to meet at noma place la Europe,
and unite in consultation as to our relations with that
I'ontineut. He is one of three who signed the famous
0tend Manifesto as the result of that consultation.
He has been honored by Louiaiana with a seat in the
Senate of the United states. Me ever bas been, and
to this day remains, an lullexible Democrat. Now
what does this distinguished gentleman, so frequently
honored by the Democratic party, soy about that or-
gauuatiou.' Listen, "V mean to disentangle ourselves."
From a hat Mr. Soule?
"Krom the thralJoin in which wf have been kept."
What thraldom'.' how kept in-thrnldom ?
"The thraldom in which b have been kept for
years.
Fur yeabb, Mr. Soule? by whom? '
"Yes, sir, roa iis, by an t xraiscirLEn OAxn or
roLiTic.ii, apiiXLiToas AND black lius ! and we are
here to vindicate our rights, and excrcUe the Inalien
able prerogative of self-government.
Now. ffllow-citixeus Whig-i. Americans and Dea
ocrnts, too just remember who the speaker ia how
high ho has stood in the councils of the nation and
the confidence of hia party and then carefully con
sider the import and siguibcance or the language ne
uses. Ho boldly and unqualifiedly asserts that the
party and the country have been for years nader the
control of an "uuprincipieu gang oi political (pecula
tors and gamblers" aud advised those whoal he ad
drerses to declare their determination to "vindicate
their rights and exercise their Derogative," of which
he, and the assemblage be addressed, believed tLey
had been deprived.' Alter thus stating the grievance,
he goes on to say
"That the time has come for ns to assume tiiat posi
tion is mide manifest, by the disgust with which the
most patient and enduring in our midst have witnessed
the scandalous and revolting corruption and foul deal
ing introduced in our party proceedings, under the
direction and management of the few miscreants who
claim absolute control over it."
Now, what do our readers tLidk of that? Here is
Democrat speaking of his own party. He says their
practices liave exhibited aucb "sca.nualocs anil bk
volvixo cnanrrioN and rex i. hialiko, under tha di
rection and management of a raw viscrsasts," as to
demand action on the part of the people, anl that the
time has arrived to act. The ltnguage is of the
strongest kind is used by one fully aware of its mean
ing, and who ia responsible for all he utters. We
make the following extract from the Preamble to the
Resolutions, to wit: .-,- . ..
"Holding in peculiar detestation the employment of
Federal pntronage and Federal power to influence or
control political results in the several Sutra of the
Luiun, for the beueht of individuals or of factions,
they proclaim undying oppositiun alike to such influ
ences, and the evil disposed, venal and bad. men by
whom it' is originated, defended, or upheld."
What "Federal patronage and Federal power" have
been used t influence or control political results iu
the Union? Why, none but Democratic, for no other
party but that, has had power any length of time for
uiauy years past. What "evil disposed, venal and
bad men" have been so situated as to "originate"
measures that were corrupt in order that power might
be perpetuated in their own "venal and corrupt
clique? Mr. Soule and the meeting he addressed
were Democratic the present federal "powers tnul
be areralso -Democratic end-fcenee-tliis bo,d am
open denunciation of a Democratic Adniiaintration
anl of Democratic policy and corruption, by members
of the party! Is not this inharmonious ? Is not this
a tendency to disorganisation ? And is. net the whole
action, the denunciation and the threatened disorgam-
zjlion, consequent tipen "scandalous and revolting
corruption- and- font dealing" by "miscreants' ' for
years? "Miscreants" controlling a party for years
whose business it has been "to woo but to ruin, to
win bat to destroy. And these "miscreants are
"evil disposed, vtnal and bad men," in the dominant
pnrty.
There is qo doging as to who- and what party is
meant, for it has been the boast of the Democracy
that the country has been ruled by it for yeijrs. . So
Mr. Soule means the Democracy, and the language
employed must be taken fur just what and all it im
ports.
The Charleston Mercury says:
"The existing organization called the Government
of the Cnited States, with its abolition agitation and
destinies, although no more like the Government es
tablishing by the Constitution than the Roman Re
public under Augustus Cicsar was like the Roman Re
public under Scipio, will struggle hardforit perpetuity.
Nothing but instinct of self-preservation, or the higher
impulse of liberty in the southern people can over
throw it. Dot the contest is inevitable or it hat
been gathering head for thirty yean.'
All these sectional animosities all the extrava
gance all the Federal interference with the internal
affairs of the States all the intermeddling with State
elections, and all the deep, damning and widespread
corruption, created by a "few miscreants'' of the
Democrasic: party, have "been gathering head fur
thirty years!" Not only has disorganization com
menced, as the passing events of the day fully demon
strate, but, verily, Democratic testimony of tbe high
est uigntty, in reterence to the ' 'scandalous and re
volting corruption, and foul dealing" of the self
styled Democratic party, and such pestilent demorali
xation ts all this too plainly proves, places the neces
sity of its dieorganiiation beyond a donbt. The peo
ple uemanu ana wm consummate it. Disorganisation
of parties, and a re-organiiation, is determined upon
and will be effected. The present unworthy incum.
bents will receive their merited disgrace and in their
ejectment, Corruption will be rebuked and punished.

H9 We give below a capital article, from the
Dallas (Ala.) Gaietta, upon the oft-discussed
theme of " Southern rights." The Gazttu waa
formerly one of the most aealous of the "fire eat
ers," and ia published in a locality where the m
sealous Southern sectionalism onoe most brightly
flamed. In the language of the Mobile Adver
tiser, we " hail this remarkable change ot posi
tion, so frankly acknowledged by the Gazette, a
a cheering sign of the progress and development
of sound, conservative sentiments in the South."
Let no reader fail to peruse the article :
Soi'tubbh Riiiiin. We ar not going to trouble
our readers, as they msy suppose from the beading,
with a long dissertation on the wronga of the South,
for the belief Is penetrating to onr brain, thiough
rather a thick skull, that moat of the wrongs we have
I tretofora oomplalned pf have been imaginary, or at
least, the 8outh has not,' at W, suffered any serious
injury by the agitation of the slavery question at the
North, nj matter what anticipation we may have of
future mischief, as the effect of measure already
passed. The South may suffer hereafter, It is true,
but w do not know that she will, and as we are in
doubt on that point, w mil back oh the scriptural in
junction, "sufficient for the day of evil thereof." We
are however, assured or on thing, that the more
noise tbe South makes ther-mor fuel she throws
the flam kindled by Seward, Hale, Sumnes,
and others, the more likely she is to suffer here
after. This is our honest and. candid opinion, pred
icated upon personal experience? and' ths past his
tory of the country. We admit that we have thought
differently until about a year since, but a fair and
unprejudiced review of the various measures that
have agitated the North and the South for the last
ten years and the rftct thty have had upvn butk seetum,
of the I'niin, both for and against the South, have
produced a complete revolution in our sentiments, not
because any love for the I'niou has been revived in
our heart, but simply because our love for the South
has increased with years, and we believe it would be
to her interest to change her poller entirely, and
instead or threatening secession or revolution or de
manding that Congress should protect slavery in the
Territories, or should not or declaring that no Black
Republican President shall rule over the South or
resolving that Douglas shall be beaten if he is the
nominee of the Charleston Convention, or swearing to
any other hostile measure w say, if instead of all
this, she would declare that it waa beneath her digni
ty to discuss the question of slavery hereafter with
the Northern people if our members to Congress
would be silent on that question, instead of making
"Damnum speeches to "empty benches, just for
the purpose of scattering them among their constitu
ents for their own elorification if agitation ehoaid
altogether cease at the South, it would die out at the
florin entirely, and such men as Wilson, Sumner, Chase
and others, deprived of their political capital, would
sink into an obscurity so profound "that the hand of
resurrection would never rach item.
Some people may say that, in takin g this position,
we are inconsistent, but we wi 1 reply 1 n language of
me old adage, "thatany fool can be consistent. ne
will also say to such, that if they will lay aside all
their prejudices and study tbe whole question calmly
its history all we believe tbey will agree with ns.
Or, if they will honor us by reading our future ar
ticles on the subject (for we shall "not stop with thi.-1
they will, we doubt not, do us tbe justice to admit
that we art influenced by what we believe to be good
reasons.
Oar readers hare perhaps all read the old wolf story.
To refresh their memories we will copy lr:"
"A certain shepherd's boy kept his sheep npon a
common and in sport and wantonness would often cry
out, the wolf, the wolf. By this menus, be several
times drew the hnsbsndmm in an adjoining field from
their work; who, finding themselves deluded, resolved
for the future to take no notice of his alarm. Soon
after, the wolf came indeed. The boy cried out iu
earnest; but no heed being given to bis cries, the
sheep wer devoured by 'the wolf."
How often have the Southern writers snd talkers
dried "wolf!, wolf!" in the last twelve years? We
will try aud enumerate them:
1st. In 1816 or '-17, when Wilmot offered bis famous
proviso. Each political party at the South tried to
out-lierod the other in passing secession, or revolu
tionary resolutions, which fell to the ground. ' The
masses were terribly alarmed at the ery ef J'wolli'
but no wolf came. i
21. In the winter of lM9-'60, when both parties
again out-IIeroded the other in resolving to bold a
Southern Convention'when Mississippi greeted Vir-ginia--Oeorgia
greeted Alabama, and South Carolina
remained modestly ia the back ground, determined to
follow her Kauthern siscers-. It was then that Koote,
Clemens, Milliard, Toombs, and others, shouted
lustily, "wolf! wolf!" but no weif earner- For reasons
bent known to themselves, they turned on their own
bantling, the Nashville Convention, and crushed it.
The people were then ready to meet tbe wolf, but
these men, like the shepherd s boy in the fable, turned
to them and said it was all a joke, for there was n
wolf, :
3d. In 1851, when the question of secession nut
presented to tbe people, in opposition tu the compro
mise measures, theory or "wolf' was then raised
in good earnest, but as the people did not feel any
practical injury from the effects of the compromise,
they decided positire'y that there was no wolf, and
so very decidedly, that those who had raised the cry
i wuu a nw exceptions) sought shelter in a re-orzui.
ration of the old parties.
4th. In the Kansas question, in all its pha.,
the cry of "wolf has been raised, but more recently
by those who have heretofore tiken pleasure in de
nouncing as traitors those who have advocated the
rights of the South as tanmount to those of tbe
i. Dion.
We have shown, that the crv of wolf has been
raised so often that the people car no attention to it.
and we fear they have grown so indifferent that, if
any real and practical danger should arise hereafter
(which we are disposed to doubt) we may shout
Wolf " Wolf!" in Tnin

bond ia but part of our national existence. W
live by it, fight for it, uphold it by all that ia moat

that it shall be handed down to our children,
even unto the third and fourth generations.
What signify the puny blustering and un
meaning words of sclf-auibitious domagogucs
wrong in sentiment, dishonest in purpose, and
powerless withal when they rail out, with por
tentous forebodings and invectives, against tbe
Union f We para them by as the idle wtnds.
' Little do they know their weakness, much less
do they comprehend tbe great throbbing heart of
a free people, who fancy it is for them to dictate
sundering of our social compact If the time
should arrive for so momentum a subject to be
contemplated setiously, all such gasconaders
traitors if you please however high in author
ity, would be hurled from their places and scat
tered like chaff before the wind. The strong
arm of power, wielded by innate common sense,
urged on by the latent patriotio fire which dwells
in the multitude, Is ever ready to stretch forth in
defence of that holy confederacy. f
Fanatical Abolitionists of the North, or erratic
extremists in -the South, would find themselves
few in numbers and insipid in power, did a pe-
liod arrive of ubsolute necessity for the mighty
masses of our countrymen to rise up in vindica
tion of their inalienable rights vouchsafed to
them by this republican Union.
Let our Uuion be really endungercd, eitlnr
from internal or external usurpations, insomuch
as to demand extraordinary guardianship, and
millious with one common impulse will rush
simultaneously to the rescue. No respect of per
son or sentimental sympathy need be hoped for
those, either high or low, who institute treachery
towards this sacred bond.
. Mere sclf-aggr.mdiiing politicians, aspirants for
position and spoils, hypocrites at heart, though
seemingly sincere Abolitionists, fire-eaters and
fanatics may vociferate high-sounding words
and hurl denunciations, united wkh terrible
threats, against those with whom they cannot
affiliate in sentiment; yet there is a power in the
people, honest enough, to assert, aaj atiaar
enougn to preserve tne L mors agonist all aucb'
assaults. We shall never, therefore, enteruir
apprehensions of its dissolution whilst so many.
honeit yeomanry are at hand ready and willing,
impelled by love of country, to stiiJefur its pro
tection.
in vain
The truth is, when the Southern neorle look around
them and see that they still enjoy their land and ne
groesthat heaven has smiled propitiously upon and
blessed them that tbe generous soil has yielded- a
heavy harvest and that their produce bas commanded
for ten years higher snd mon -regvlar- prices than
they ever did before, can any sane man believe they
will risk the blessings they enjoy for the purpose of
encouraging measures that may lead to civil war, be
cause enthusiasts or demagogues tell them to gird on
uieir armor ami ngnt sgainst anticipatea evils, or in
favor of a string of absrtoctions so contradictory and
impracticable, that it would puizle the shrewdest
metaphysician of the age to expound them ?
tKg" The Mobile Register, a Dcmociatic paper
and organ of the party, alluding to remarks made
by the Pennsylcaniitn, one of tbe President's
Pennsylvania org ins, in relation to the corres
pondence of Mr. Forsyth with Government,
